Captain's Log: Supplemental. Due to a disturbance caused by a thought to be non existent Dominion battle site, we've ended up in the past and in a time that never happened according to history. A time where Earth was destroyed, six thousand humans remain of the species, the Enterprise NX-01 was in a battle with the Xindi and Charles Trip Tucker was in command instead of Jonathan Archer. We've invited the command crew to beam over and talk with us about what has changed. It would appear that both sides will have to explain how they've ended up here.
Allensworth stood up from his seat at the head of the filled for once conference table. The guests from the Enterprise had taken up six of the seats leaving the other six to be filled by Allensworth, Sparhawk, Merriell, Nycz, Plumley and Zofchak. Fulks was left standing.
"So, you're telling me that the Xindi destroyed Earth and you all were residing in the Ceti Alpha system?"
Trip nodded his head. "That's correct, Captain."
Even if humanity survived against the Xindi, Ceti Alpha V would be suffering the consequences following the destruction of Ceti Alpha VI.
Allensworth put that thought aside and came back to issue at hand.
"So what happened that caused Captain Archer to be relieved of command?" Allensworth asked.
"Twelve years ago," T'Pol began. "Captain Archer suffered an injury from a spatial anomaly that affected his hippocampus and was unable to form long term memories. I was then put in command of the Enterprise. I stepped down from my commission and Tucker took over."
Allensworth thought about the information he was just given for a moment as Zofchak spoke up.
"History records different events from your voyages. It was mentioned that a spatial anomaly did slide through Enterprise but Archer only suffered a concussion."
"Captain Archer," Allensworth said. "I'd like you to see Dr. Plumley to undergo some brain scans."
"Actually, Captain." Phlox said. "We've figured out how to get rid of these parasites. These parasites reside outside time and space and we've already performed part of the procedure and according to our scans, the parasites we eliminated only hours ago disappeared from the scans that I took twelve years ago. I'd like to finish the procedure."
"Certainly. Do whatever it takes. If there is any thing you need on this ship, our facilities are open to you."
Phlox nodded in thanks with his non Denobulan smile.
"That answers the question in why the change in the timeline but we still don't have an answer for why we were sent here instead of into the past."
"I have a theory, sir." Zofchak said. "It could be similar to when Captain Kirk and his crew entered the parallel universe."
"Can you explain more on that?"
"I think maybe due to the destruction of multiple varied warp drives so it had an effect on that region of space and sent us into a parallel universe where Captain Archer was relieved of command and."
Allensworth nodded in acceptance of the theory. He then realized he had to inform his guests on how they arrived in this time.
He opened his mouth but it was cut off by Kell Perim's voice coming over the comm.
"Sorry for the interruption, Captain but long range sensors picked up a vessel on an intercept course."
"Is it the Xindi?" He asked.
"Negative, sir."
Allensworth could sense the hesitation and urgency in her voice. He really couldn't imagine any real threat from this century that would put them at extreme danger. But then again this was an alternate timeline and anything could happen.
"What kind of ship is it, Lieutenant?" Allensworth asked calmly.
"It's a cubed shaped ship, sir."
That was unexpected. The eyes of the Alexandria senior staff widened. The Enterprise crew really wasn't sure what was going on. Apparently the Alexandria crew knew of a species in cubed shaped vessles.
"What? How?" Sparhawk asked.
"They shouldn't even know that humanity even exists yet. Not until the Enterprise-D runs into them at System J-25." Zofchak said.
"We'll figure all of that out later. But until then we need to be ready for their arrival." Allensworth said getting up from his chair. "Red alert, all hands battlestations." He said as he walked out of the room and onto the bridge.
"Time to intercept?" Allensworth asked.
"Forty-two minutes." Perim said getting up from the command chair.
Why are they headed here? They weren't even aware of humanity until they encountered the Enterprise-D. It didn't make any sense that they'd be in the Alpha Quadrant at this point in time. Humanity is an easier target now than it was before Earth was destroyed.
I'm really tired of dealing with the Borg. Allensworth thought as he sat down and the senior staff took their respective stations. The dark skinned captain could sense the uneasiness from the Enterprise command crew. They had no idea what was going on and were probably going to be even more lost once the Borg arrived.
"Captain Tucker, are your weapon systems online?"
"No, they were damaged during the battle."
"Zofchak, I want you to lead an engineering team over to the Enterprise and help them get their weapons and shield systems online. We're going to need all the help we can get against the Borg."
"Aye, sir." Zofchak said getting up from his seat at the Engineering station. He tapped his comm. badge as he headed for the turbolift. "Alpha team, assemble in transporter room three."
The turbolift doors closed as Allensworth kept his gaze fixed on the screen waiting for the inevitable encounter with the Borg.
